My workload tends to slow down around this time of year (Thanksgiving to New Years), so I’ve had some extra time on my hands and have spent some time cleaning out my to-read list. I am shocked (and kind of embarrassed) at how long it has become. So, my 2024 reading challenge is to finally make time to get to some of the really great stuff that has been on my list for a long time. This one has been on my list since Jul2022, so not too long and a really good choice!
The book summary is pretty vague and basically just introduces the primary storyline of Cameron Prescott, a Seattle dentist, discovering that three months after that her husband, John, was supposedly killed by a bear was also being investigated as the Teacher Killer, who was suspected of killing more than a dozen women. The detective on the Teacher Killer case, Detective Tanner Mulholland, starts looking into whether or not Cameron knew and/or abetted her husband in the murders. There is also another storyline of Tanner discovering that Cameron’s first husband died of suicide and Tanner suspects that it may not have been suicide. The man is like a dog with bone!
The media frenzy soon drives Cameron from both her dental practice as well as her home and up to AK where Cameron believes John is still alive after faking his death and where he has started to kill again. It’s the dead of winter in AK, so lots of snow, some blizzards, freezing temps, wildlife, and even an avalanche. I love stories set in AK for these exact reasons. Anyway, the story is fast-paced and at 272pgs, the end comes pretty quick in a VERY satisfying end. WHOO YA!!! Karma is a &!^%# and the white horse she rode in on.
Initially, this story kind of reminded me of the first installment of the Stillhouse Lake series where an unsuspecting wife suddenly discovers that her husband is a serial killer. LOVE THAT SERIES!!! However, it wasn’t long before I discovered that this story is very different. However, like the Gwen Proctor character that Rachel Caine created in the Stillhouse Lake series, Audrey J Cole’s Cameron Prescott goes from mild mannered wife and dentist to a bad@$$ warrior and hunter. WOO HOO!!! LOVE CAMERON!!!
